Hikers and animal lovers, mark your calendars! Writer Tom Ryan and his canine companions Samwise and Emily visit The Rocks Estate to discuss their adventures, and some of the stories from “Will’s Red Coat,” his new book.
An admission fee of $10 per person will be earmarked for improvements to the events room in the main building at The Rocks. Owned by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests, The Rocks serves as the Society’s North Country Conservation & Education Center.
Tom Ryan lives in Jackson, N.H., and is the author of the New York Times bestselling memoir, “Following Atticus.” During the winter of 2007, Ryan and his dog, Atticus M. Finch, climbed 81 4,000-foot peaks, raising several thousand dollars for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute along the way. The following winter, the pair climbed 66 4,000-foot peaks and raised funds for the Angell Animal Medical Center in Jamaica Plain, Mass. Their fundraising efforts garnered Ryan and Atticus induction to the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals’ Hall of Fame as recipients of the organization’s “Human Hero of the Year Award.” Ryan and Atticus also received the “Humane-itarian Award” from the Massachusetts School of Law.
Tom and Atticus adopted an elderly, special needs dog named William Lloyd Garrison – “Will,” for short. Will thrived in the companionship of Tom and Atticus, leading to their receipt of the Massachusetts School of Law Humanitarian Award. Ryan’s second book was “Will’s Red Coat: The Story of One Old Dog Who Chose to Live Again.”

The Rocks kicks off the summer season with a Wildflower Walk on June 3. The walk, from 9 – 11:30 a.m. will feature the intriguing history of The Rocks and the flora growing around the Historic Mile Path.
The guided tour at The Rocks will take place on the Historic Mile Path, an area normally off-limits to visitors. Led by Rocks Director and farmer Nigel Manley and wildflower enthusiast Ginny Jeffryes, the tour will include discussion of the property’s storied history, the array of plants growing there, and the forestry work done as part of the property’s long-range forest management plan.
“Guests will get to see some of the favorite places of the Glessner family, who built The Rocks and spent many summers here,” said Manley. “We’ll also explain the forestry work done the past few winters as part of our ongoing effort to protect the cultural sites here and to enhance wildlife habitat on the property.”
Manley recommends reserving a spot for the morning tour. The tour allows only 15 people, and they generally fill quickly. The walk will begin from the parking lot behind the barn at The Rocks. For more information, program times and to reserve a place on the tour, please visit www.therocks.org, e-mail [email protected], or call 603-444-6228.
